But looking at this you would think that all these complications would make Cleopatra interesting. It doesn't. It makes her a walking contradiction but then again she is 12 years old and I don't expect 12 year olds to behave like adults.
living in the wrong time period when you have to worry about not one, but two sisters trying to kill you.

Ancient literary sources about Cleopatra are remarkably sparse. Women never fare well in ancient history, and there is pelo work specifically devoted to the queen, nor is there a major contemporary source. Plutarch’s biography of Marcus Antonius (see Plutarch 1988) is the closest to an actual narrative about the queen, but was written one hundred years after her death and is limited in its focus. Second in importance is the Roman History of Cassius Dio (see Dio 1914–1927), the only continuous extant history of Cleopatra’s era. Also of significance are the works of the Jewish historian Josephus (Josephus 1928 and Josephus 1930–1965), whose interest was limited to the southern Levant, but this was an area of importance to Cleopatra.
